By visiting the Atlanta Zoo, you're not only having a fantastic time, but you're also contributing to important conservation efforts.
visited Zoo Atlanta recently, and it was a nice experience overall. The zoo was clean, and there were many animals to see. But the weather was a bit cold and windy that day, so many animals like giraffes and rhinos were moved indoors instead of being in their outdoor habitats. It felt a little disappointing. It would be helpful if the zoo could add a sign at the entrance or mention it on their website when some animals are indoors due to weather. That way, visitors know what to expect. Still, it was a good place to visit. I just wish the weather had been better so the animals could be outside where they belong.
We visited on a sunny day in early March. I'm 63, and have been coming to Zoo Atlanta since I was a kid, and man how it's changed. I've been to many zoos across the US, and I must say, especially after all the latest upgrades, Zoo Atlanta is the best (that I've seen). The habitats are huge, and there's a great variety of animals. Absolutely love it!
I don't care for the zoo (animals in captivity), but I went with my son's school field trip. Animals look depressed, and it seems like they were short on staff in some areas when I/kids wanted to ask questions. Of course, the food/snacks are overpriced. Be sure to bring your own snacks and drinks. A bottle drink is $5.99 ($6.52 with tax)! Other than that, it was an enjoyable experience and beautiful to watch my son learn more about all these animals. The staff was nice and friendly.
We bought the city pass, and they had a separate line for us to go in, which made it a lot faster. The staff there was extremely kind and educated in the exhibits they were near. We went on a Saturday and there was a good bit of people there but it wasn't overcrowded and plenty of seats to take breaks from walking. The animals looked to be well kept and maintained and healthy. Can't wait to go back !
Wonderful Zoo and probably one of our favorites we have visited! Our family had a great visit. Friendly staff, clean, and plenty of photo opportunities. I'd say our 3-4 hour visit was great for our family of 3 small children 7 and under. While we, of course, miss the Giant Panda exhibit, honored to have seen them before their departure and wish them well in their homeland, Atlanta Zoo had a plethora of diverse animals we enjoyed seeing. Most were pretty active during our afternoon visit, which was a real treat! If you're debating where to take the family in the Atlanta area, I recommend placing the zoo at the top of your "must do" list!
